Unclear, although formulated difference to the subcategory Category:Landscapes (are landscapes on a single picture even countable?); also no such differentiation on other wikis. Suggest downmerging. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 10:27, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose This is a result of Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/05/Category:Landscape. Unlike other Wikis, Commons is a collection of media files that has some diverging requirements. "Are landscapes on a single picture even countable?" is a nonsense question; categories contain more than a single picture. See Commons:Categories#Category names: "Types or groups of objects or people should generally have names in plural form". Also, downmerge to what? --Sitacuisses (talk) 13:21, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

•  Delete I've looked at its files, its subcategories, and the Wikipedia article for Landscape, and I still can't figure out what this category is supposed to mean. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:24, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@King of Hearts: Like in many other categories, the files were miscategorized. They should have gone to some subcategory of Category:Landscapes. So there's nothing to learn from that, other than that there are lots of users who have no clue of categorization. The subcategories combined with the category descricption should indeed give you an idea of what this category is about. If people were unable to understand the difference between a type of image (→ landscape photography/ → Landscape paintings as in Category:Landscapes) and a topic in science as in Category:Landscape (environment), maybe the category description wasn't clear enough. I've updated the description and hope it's easier to understand now. --Sitacuisses (talk) 20:39, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give me examples of images that would fall in Category:Landscape (environment) but not Category:Landscapes? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:54, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give you categories, you'll find the images there.

• According to the definition of Category:Landscapes, "A landscape ... is a combination of different landforms forming a new picture which cannot be categorized as one of the subcategories of Category:Landforms". So any image that shows only a single landform (e.g. a certain mountain) should go to Category:Landforms instead of Category:Landscapes.
• Category:Books about landscape design
• Category:Landscape architects
• Category:Protected landscape area signs

Just to name a few of the most obvious cases. --Sitacuisses (talk) 20:31, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@1234qwer1234qwer4, Sitacuisses, and King of Hearts: Should we keep this category and close this discussion? Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 11:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please. --Sitacuisses (talk) 02:54, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
